This sounds more-or-less like my problem (I'm not using RAID though): http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=121475606225101&w=2 That's not using vanilla or Debian kernels; it's an Ubuntu machine. As I mentioned in that thread, I've had this problem with that disk and controller pair in two machines. The second is still in use so I'm including my uptimes list for it if anyone is interested in the length of time it usually takes to manifest. I can live without the contents of the disk in question, so I tend to leave it a couple of days (maybe even a week) before rebooting if I have any active screen sessions with state I don't want to lose. The shortest entries are probably reboots for some other reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them were just times when this problem arose more quickly than usual. It *seems* to me to be linked with heavy usage, particularly writes, but I'm not convinced this isn't coincidence since I haven't any record of how heavily the disk is in use. I may well be able to get it to manifest very quickly by going back to using NFS, but I haven't tried. -Nye # Uptime | System Boot up ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- 1 3 days, 13:24:55 | Linux 2.6.24-16-server Wed Apr 16 00:41:23 2008 2 2 days, 06:58:58 | Linux 2.6.24-16-server Sat Apr 19 15:55:35 2008 3 5 days, 15:14:19 | Linux 2.6.24-16-server Mon Apr 21 23:15:26 2008 4 1 day , 06:44:25 | Linux 2.6.24-16-server Sun Apr 27 14:30:08 2008 5 33 days, 22:18:19 | Linux 2.6.24-16-server Mon Apr 28 21:14:56 2008 6 0 days, 00:03:13 | Linux 2.6.24-17-server Sun Jun 1 19:45:24 2008 7 4 days, 16:11:59 | Linux 2.6.24-17-server Sun Jun 1 19:52:44 2008 8 7 days, 02:24:55 | Linux 2.6.24-18-server Fri Jun 6 12:05:06 2008 9 23 days, 00:41:08 | Linux 2.6.24-18-server Fri Jun 13 14:51:56 2008 10 4 days, 23:08:25 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Sun Jul 6 15:42:50 2008 11 5 days, 09:15:45 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Fri Jul 11 14:51:38 2008 12 11 days, 22:14:13 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Thu Jul 17 00:07:46 2008 13 23 days, 00:30:30 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Mon Jul 28 22:22:23 2008 14 14 days, 20:56:34 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Wed Aug 20 22:56:43 2008 15 29 days, 04:27:33 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Thu Sep 4 19:53:41 2008 16 18 days, 08:37:48 | Linux 2.6.24-19-server Sat Oct 4 00:21:38 2008 17 34 days, 06:11:49 | Linux 2.6.24-21-server Wed Oct 22 09:36:12 2008 18 14 days, 08:38:11 | Linux 2.6.24-21-server Tue Nov 25 14:48:24 2008 -> 19 5 days, 12:31:38 | Linux 2.6.24-22-server Tue Dec 9 23:26:58 2008 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
